Flashback Friday: Playing Catch Up!

Since I'm just starting the blog almost three months into Ella's life, I am going to use this post to bombard the world with some of Ella's videos so far!  We will start with her video from this week and a few early videos.  Then, I'll be uploading a current video along with an older video once a week until I'm caught up! (Some of the videos were being pains, so they're YouTube links instead of imbedded videos, so, sorry about that!)

This week, Ella is excited to be holding her head up, is starting to enjoy tummy time, and trying really hard to roll over.  Not evident in the video is her new ability to grab the play mat in front of her and attempt to pull herself forward, even though crawling is (hopefully?) still a ways off!  Other recent developments include holding onto things when placed into her hands, putting said things directly into her mouth, and focusing on watching her hands and feet move all around!





This video is from my Mom's birthday party.  We got the family together to announce my pregnancy, but if you know me and my Mom at all, you know that we had to do it in our own unique way.  The family's reaction was priceless!



Looking back through my camera, I found this very early video of Ella Kate, at one week, and thought: "What a boring video!"  Until I remembered that, at the time, every tiny thing she did was special and new!  So here's her one week video, showing her focusing on the blinds and making some small movements:




 One of my favorites is the first time I caught her giggling on camera.  She thinks I'm hilarious now, but I'm sure everything I do will be considered totally embarrassing someday.  It just comes with the mommy territory!




And another first: Ella's first social smile that I was able to catch on camera.  We had a lot of smiles in her sleep, followed by tiny smiles here and there.  It took a while, but I finally got one on tape when she was four weeks old.


So, there you go!  Just a few videos to keep you entertained until my next blog entry!  Hope you enjoy my sweet girl as much as I do!
